ESPOO, Finland, February 1/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia today announced System Rush, a fast paced, futuristic, stunt racing
game for the N-Gage platform. This platform exclusive title, developed by
Ideaworks3D, takes gamers into the dangerous and hostile world of GlobeNet.
Packed with rich multiplayer features, System Rush enables up to four players
to race via Bluetooth connection or the N-Gage Arena.



"System Rush extends our racing portfolio into an exciting dimension."
said Pasi Polonen, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia. "With forty-five enemy
levels to master, fifteen gang boss vehicles to trounce and five kingpin
track bosses to beat. System Rush is sure to excite and entertain gamers. In
addition, the extensive N-Gage Arena features let the gamers truly connect
and challenge each other."



Gamers jump into one of over eleven vehicles and tear through forty-five
intense races in five unique game worlds in GlobeNet. The N-Gage Arena shadow
racing mode lets gamers take on up to three other players simultaneously.
Gamers can race online to unlock limited edition cars and race them in
offline mode. N-Gage Arena offers global online league tables and the
possibility to download or upload race clips. Online player profile and

performances.



GlobeNet racing world is home to corrupt corporations and secretive
governmental organizations. The racing locations can be accessed via hacked
backdoor gateways allowing gamers to access hazardous race arenas constructed
within sealed-off areas that have become infested with opportunistic viruses
and other electronic threats.



System Rush is expected to hit the streets in the summer of 2005.
